I have changed my mind about Behr Paint

November 24, 2015

Recommended Product

I have changed my mind about Behr paint... About 15 years ago I had decided to try Behr paint to fix-up a rental property. It was the worst experience I had ever had with paint. The stuff simply would not stick to the wall, and it had nothing to do with painting over gloss or semi-gloss or oil over latex, etc. It was simply a total lack of solids and adhesives in the paint. I swore I would never use Behr again.
Fast-forward 15 years and I came across an article that compared Behr to my (previously) preferred "high quality" paint (am I allowed to mention high-priced competitors here?) and the independent research found that Behr had better first-coat coverage and durability. I had also heard sometime earlier that ownership/management of Behr had changed too, but I am not sure of the specifics. Anyhow, I needed to paint my garage and didn't want to pay the typical $55 to $60 per gallon for garage paint. So, I decided to give Behr another try.
To my complete surprise, Behr significantly exceeded my expectations. Coverage was great, hiding of issues was excellent, dark colors only required two coats, light colors only required one, adhesion was grate, clean-up was easy, I love the non-metallic cans, and final appearance was exceptionally even. I truly believe that this $28 paint exceeded the capabilities of the paint for which I had previously paid $55 to $60 per gallon.

Pros
Very Adhesive, Even Application, High Quality of Material, Easy to Apply, Good Coverage, Easy to Clean, Easy to Use, Good Protection, Looks Great, Looks High End, Dries Quickly
